I would have been surprised this year.

They clearly positioned themselves to pick a center this year, had the talent worthy of a first round pick and had solved their other most glaring problem by trading down.

Pretty nice piece of work there, and having done it I didn't see them taking a chance of missing out on one of the top 3 centers even if he may not have been (I don't know) the best player on their board.

They were lucky in that a good enough player was available, but figured out how to make good value decisions to make it all work.
